CLYS is dedicated to the philosophy that youth in out-of-home care must be prepared with the skills required to be productive adults. With this in mind, CLYS has created a comprehensive, intensive program of hands-on, individualized learning tools to advance each youth along a continuum of independent living learning objectives.
Teaching skills that changes lives.
Designed with a Purpose
Provide a structured daily program, including school, educational and recreational activities along with a graduated privilege system that teaches social skills, encourages positive behavior and advocates personal responsibility
24/7 Support & Leadership
We support a committed, caring and well-trained line staff who work with youth 24 hours a day. Also, provide a Home Manager who manages the day-to-day functioning of the home to ensure a home-like environment as they move to independence.
Counseling & Mentoring
Provide individual counseling, activities, and groups that focus on skill development and communications.
